Hi, TY Steve. It needs to be clear that they are different songs. A number of song notes have called "Seventeen" as quoted above, "This song of the milkmaid," implying that the two songs are related-- they aren't. At least we need to know what "Dabbling in the Dew" and "The Milkmaid" are. And if you look at Grammy Fish's last stanza of Seventeen (above) it's clearly taken from an end stanza of the Milkmaid- albeit reworded. So there are composites--- Richie
